Hi, if I want to use the moment selection criteria proposed by Hall,
A. R., Inoue, A., Jana, K. and Shin, C. (2007). Information in
generalized method of moments estimation and entropy-based moment
selection, Journal of Econometrics 138(2): 488–512.

So the criteria is computed as:

RMSC(var.xxx) = determinant(vcov, logarithm=T) +
(det(var.xxx)-p)*log(T^(1/3)/T^(1/3)

where vcov is the covariance matrix of the model parameters
conditional on the instrument set var.xxx, T the sample size and p the
number of parameters to be estimated.

Is is wrong?

Thanks,

Sebastián.
